The great Yupanqui is now here.
Speak to him. Awake from thy trance.
Tupac Yupanqui. My heart is torn and sorrowful
At sight of so much misery.
Who art thou, my poor sufferer?
Child, tell me now thy mother's name?
Yma Sumac. Father! Inca! Clement Prince!
Have those cruel bonds removed.
The Uillac Uma. It is for me to remove them,
And to relieve this sore distress.
- (Cuts the rope fastening Cusi Coyllur to the wall.)
Ollantay (to Yma Sumac). What is thy mother's name?
Yma Sumac. Her name was once Cusi Coyllur,
But it seems a mistake. Her joy
Was gone when she was prisoned here.
Ollantay. O renowned King, great Yupanqui,
In her you see my long lost wife.
- (Prostrates himself before the Inca.)
Tupac Yupanqui. It all appears a dream to me.
The 'Star'! my sister![1] and thy wife.
O sister! what newly found joy.
O Cusi Coyllur, my sister,
Come here to me, and embrace me,
Now thou art delivered from woe.
- (Music.)
Thou hast found thy loving brother;
Joy calms the anguish of my heart.
- (Embraces Cusi Coyllur.)
Cusi Coyllur. Alas! my brother, now you know
The cruel tortures I endured
- ↑ The early Incas never married their sisters or relations. Pachacuti's mother was daughter of the chief of Anta. His wife, Anahuarqui, was no relation. But the wife of Tupac Yupanqui was his sister Mama Ocllo.
